Description This Info Note summarizes the results of activities and studies carried out at the CCAFS Climate-Smart
Village sites in Ghana, Niger, Senegal, Mali and Niger to mainstream gender into participatory action
research at the sites.

Key messages

Success in gender mainstreaming in CSVs work requires: (i) a capacity building of implementation
team and partners in participatory gender research, (ii) an involvement of women through
development and implementation of gender responsive projects, and (iii) an empowerment of
women groups around CSA activities.

Women and men have similar perceptions of climate variability and change in Ghana and Mali
CSV sites. However their perceptions on adaptation strategies are different.

Women and men have different access and use of CSA technologies and practices including
climate information services because of gender gap in agriculture across the assets and
resources (access to phone, access to education, and access to trainings).
